Subjex may be a youngster, but he’s something of a veteran in this company, having already released a single on Planet Mu. Supersonic Mezze is a mini-album presenting in four episodes a version of a gospel of delirious dementia handed down by Mike Paradinas and his mates.

It’s a field full of audio-mines going off disjunctively, sometime redolent of that whole Jason Forrest, Otto Von Schirach and Jake Mandell school of fuck-off sonics, where hardcore electro vies with skewed breakbeat mentalisms, acidic dub and a headbang 8-bit battery. Far from the sick downbeat of his labelmates, he proposes an affair of ludic freeplay and almost festive release.

“Electrofunkytechnodrill’n’bass,” his website proposes, and there seems no compelling reason to naysay. So, yes, In Vitro deliver grubby goods with some appeal. Their maxed-out and maladjusted attitude skulks knowingly at the ill and bad-mannered end of IDM that refuses to be blithely appeasing yet still checks itself out in the mirror to see how elegantly trashed it appears.
